Octasphales eubrocha is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1917. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is 12–15 mm. The forewings are whitish grey with the veins finely dotted with fuscous and with an outwardly-curved line, suffused posteriorly, from one-fourth the costa to one-fourth the dorsum. The costal edge is narrowly ochreous whitish and there is a fine interrupted dark fuscous line on the apex and termen, rarely reaching as far as the tornus. The hindwings are whitish.[2]
